>are unusual attractive Source? I've never heard of intelligence being correlated with visual attractiveness.

  Like height the link is probably though health and generally freedom from birth defects. It's not a 1:1 correlation, but it is a positive one. Consistent with such views, meta-analyses (Jackson, Hunter & Hodge, 1995; Langlois et al., 2000) show that there is a small but significantly positive correlation between intelligence and physical attractiveness https://personal.lse.ac.uk/kanazawa/pdfs/I2011.pdf https://personal.lse.ac.uk/kanazawa/pdfs/I2011.pdf That said, selected populations may show a negative correlation such as when more attractive people are more easily given a job etc.

  Retric has made many posts conflating above-average intelligence with the extremely high intelligence that the article talks about.
